Odd, might be the first thing that springs to mind with this CD. Vered
Dekel and Miles Griffith gurgle, splutter, whoop, scream and wail their
way through some wacky, fascinating tracks. The liner notes, written in
the spirit of the CD, offer (purposefully, I imagine,) no deep insight into
what is going on. They do say 'Listen to the music'; it is there, a trifle
bizarre on occasions, but the integrity of the piece is always held. This
is original, experimental stuff; excellent playing from the instrumentalists
who seem to have a great time. Good, demented organ playing from Shedrick
Mitchell in "Born To Cry"; and after some initial screaming in
"Boola Zoola", it develops into a cool Jazz number. There are
periods of remission; "Emp-Va-Lest" is a remarkable, unaccompanied
duet from the pair, and "I Want To Be", a love song, has some
beautiful singing from Vered Dekel, soaring deliciously and using some unusual
melodic nuances, Miles Griffith is always a splendid foil. Dekel and Griffith
penned eleven of the twelve tracks; they both have wonderful voices, capable
of the sort of circus dexterity that their music exploits. This is adventurous,
seeking, spirited, cascading impressionism that thoroughly entertains.

It is a CD to make you sit up and pay attention; I enjoyed it, which
is, well, odd.
